Platelets reduce anoikis and promote metastasis by activating YAP1 signaling

Platelets reduce anoikis and promote metastasis by activating YAP1 signaling

Platelets have been associated with increased tumor growth and metastasis but the mechanistic details of this interaction are still unclear. Here the authors show that platelets improve anoikis resistance of cancer cells and increase metastasis by activating Yap through a RhoA/MYPT-PP1 pathway.
